The Most Painful Line After Watching 'The Funeral of Florrie': The True Regret of Life is Not Losing, but 'Not Asking One More Question at the Beginning'

Many works depict death in a painful way, but what truly stabs in The Funeral of Florrie is not the departure of important people, but the realization that came much later: that there was so much time to understand someone, but it was not done. After a 10-year adventure and defeating the demon king, the heroes returned to their respective lives. For humans, 10 years is almost enough to change a life; but for the elf Florrie, who has lived for thousands of years, it was just a short time. After the adventure ended, Florrie, along with the hero Xinmei, the monk Haita, and the warrior Arian, watched a meteor shower. They even promised to meet again in 50 years. For Florrie, 50 years might just be the wait until the next meeting. But for humans, that was almost a lifetime. 50 years later, Florrie returned as promised, but Xinmei, who was once full of vigor, had already become an old man. After watching the meteor shower again, she soon attended Xinmei's funeral. It was only then that she first realized: she had walked with Xinmei for 10 years, but she never really tried to understand him. The story of The Funeral of Florrie begins with this belated regret.
